Great gesture for a true BOTL'er and just another example of what a great community we are involved with in my opinion!


"For those who do not know and I assume there are not many of you July 22nd, 2010 is the 3rd annual Smoke a JJ for JJ day. The Series JJ is a cigar made by My Father Cigars and we light one up in memory of the Little Robusto. The Little Robusto is the son of Jerry Cruz from Stogie Review who passed away at 3.5 months old due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The hardest thing for any parent to do is bury their child and on this trying day for the Cruz family we at acigarsmoker.com want to honor the memory of the “Little Robusto”.

So we do that by donating $20.00 to the American SIDS Institute for every person who submits a photo of themselves smoking a Series JJ to our email (barry at acigarsmoker.com) with a cap of $500.00 by the end of the day on July 22nd. Just please note that we will run the photos on Tuesday July 27th when we announce the total money raised that acigarsmoker.com will be donating in memory of the Little Robusto for this worthwhile cause.

We do this because of the bond with have with our fellow Brother Of The Leaf and we feel for his family. We hope this gesture will some how make the day a little bit easier."

I haven't been very active on Twitter in quite a while. So, I hadn't realized it is that time of year again. I didn't get to help honor Little Robusto last year, because I did not have a JJ. This year, however, I was fortunate enough to be bombed with one. So, I may have to actually do it, this year.

If I had a JJ with me I would definitely be participating. Great cause. Certainly will try to do it next year.

I'm fortunate to have a JJ waiting for me when I get home tonight! Will have to do my part!

Glad to see you're back in action Larry!

Thanks to everyone who took part in the event.. we raised 500 from my site and 250 from toastedfoot.com

At IPCPR we will be presenting Jerry Cruz with checks to submit to the American SIDS Institute...

Can you believe I actually got hate mail for doing this... seems SIDS is part of the anti smoking movement and I should be ashamed for looking to raise funds for them.

People amaze me every day, thankfully the generosity far outweights the stupidity.
